The Megastar LA Knight is one of the top icons in WWE; his in-ring actions and promos are some of the greatest skills the wrestler has portrayed in the WWE universe. Knight has always used extraordinary tactics during his entrance, like using different cars to attract fans attention and this has helped him gain popularity and a strong impact on WWE.
During an WWE premium event, LA Knight used Slim Jim’s custom Nissan Z, also known as Fast Meat, during his entrance. Later, Slim Jim revealed on December 19, 2023, that their car had been stolen and recently, the company confirmed the car’s status.
Slim Jim confirms status of the stolen car that featured in LA Knight promo
During the 2023 FastLane, Knight used the custom-built Nissan Z by Slim Jim for his entrance. Slim Jim is a protein snack company, and for its product promotion, they chose The Megastar during the WWE event. On December 19, the company reported that the car was missing and was stolen while it was on the move. The car was traveling due to a partnership deal Slim Jim had with WWE; when Survivor Series was underway, it was seen in Chicago; later, its stops were in L.A. for a custom video shoot; and it was last seen in California.
In an official statement, Ashley Spade, VP & General Manager, Snacks at Conagra Brands, said, “We knew we had something special with our custom car, but we had no idea it would be in such demand that someone would steal it, We continue to work closely with the authorities and we ask anyone if they spot it to report it to the LAPD.”
Although it has been some time since the car was stolen, in a recent post on December 28, Slim Jim posted on their social media account on Twitter that they found the car. Further details were not given, but Slim Jim found it necessary to inform the fans who were helping police with their active investigation.
LA Knight bags prestigious award
Knight, during his time in the main roster played the persona of Max Dupri, which caused him more loss than gain. WWE presented him as a villainous character that was out of tune with his real self. After he was given the freedom to choose his own path, he used it to build himself up, and that boosted his career to an unprecedented level. The 41-year-old superstar even made it to the main event for the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion against Roman Reigns, which shows to prove Knight’s potential as a future WWE champion.
On Saturday, December 23, LA Knight was honored by Hagerstown, which is also his hometown, with a Key to the City in the University Plaza. The event was emotional for Knight, as he had to go through a lot of highs and lows in his path to fame and to become what he is today.
âThis is ridiculous right now. Itâs like two degrees outside, yâall out here. This is wild! Thank you!â LA Knight said. âYou know, itâs really funny. Iâm looking out here right now and I joked a couple days ago and I said, âI donât know why theyâre moving us from the square to this bigger area. Thereâs probably going to be like 10 people that show up.’â
Knight is expected to appear in 2024’s Royal Rumble event and fans are excited to see The Megastar in action. The master of Blunt Force Trauma (BFT) is all set to make a great impression at the upcoming event.
